Quote:
Trump’s GOP supporters in Congress know perfectly well that all of what Cohen said is true — apart, perhaps, from his not having wanted a job at the White House. But they, too, are outraged by the possibility of losing power. Nearly every allegation about Trump that Cohen made during the hearing has been reported, in some form, before. And mostly, Americans have shown they’re pretty immune to accusations about the president — at least enough of them to allow him to continue to govern.
But, worrisome for the GOP: What if this is the last straw? What if the American people somehow wake up and, instead of seeing this whole thing as tribal politics, they start to truly examine the president’s behavior? What then? It is exactly what Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) so forcefully said to Cohen and the GOP chorus of Trump apologists on the committee: “[The House GOP members] aren't afraid you’re going to lie. I think they’re afraid you’re going to tell the truth.”

When our resident idiot Trumpkin sycophants start turning on Donny, then we’ll know it’s over for the GOP. Defending Power over truth, over democracy, over all, will eventually not be tolerated, even by someone as incredibly, willfully ignorant as Whell.
